Time to Repot Snake Plants

This morning we went to Home Depot to buy some potting soil. While we were there, we picked up some sweet mint and some spearmint. Then we went to Dollar Tree to buy some flower pots. There were only 8 of them so we bought them all. We have a lot of snake plants in flower pots that have become root-bound. Don helped me re-pot them. We had a lot of extra plants and I contacted my neighbor to see if she wanted them. They were $15 each at Home Depot!

After lunch, I knit on my sweater and watched SWAT episodes. It was a beautiful day outside.

We watched the Sugar Bowl at 4 p.m. and the Gator Bowl at 8 p.m.

It was a very nice day!

Gardening Fun

Yesterday, my hubby and I repotted a bunch of snake plants. First, he drilled holes in the bottom of my new flower pots and then I put a coffee filter in the bottom of each one. He helped me put potting soil in each one. Then we had to separate the snake plants in these cheap plastic containers. We had so many leftovers that we planted some in the garden around the back patio. I ended up throwing away some because there was nowhere else to plant. Then we transplanted the firecracker bush from the side of the house to the garden around the shed. Hopefully, tomorrow when it is cooler, I will take up all the concrete scallop edging and let the grass fill in on the side of the house. Since we never see that side, it is a waste of time to plant flowers over there.

I have an online friend, Maddie, (aka Madgardener) who has been my online friend since 1998. When I got first got on the internet on the computer, I found a chat room called rec.gardens. We became gardening friends there and eventually transitioned to Facebook and continue to be friends. She is always posting wonderful pictures of her plants and I promised her that I would post some pictures of our plants here in Florida.
